Susan, sorry there is no quick answer, since there are many things that can affect your back muscles, such as over exertion, heavy lifting, strenuous workouts, sleeping the wrong way, sitting for long periods. improper seating, injury and a host of other things. It would best to examine your life style and try to determine which things maybe affecting your back. What makes back muscles stiff. I don`t want to rush into anything so I was hoping you could give me some ideas as to what to avoid. Any help would be appreciated. I really appreciate your help.

First thing you can do is to apply heat to the affected area. Heat relaxes the muscles which can help loosen and release the knot. Heating pads can be used for this purpose.
Another thing you can do is massage the area. It may also help to stretch the muscles surrounding the knotted muscles, just a little at a time, to keep the muscles from clenching to the knotted muscles adding to the problem.
Lastly, you can try to take muscle relaxers to help. Topical muscle cream may also be used to help relieve any pain although only temporary. Consult your doctor and let them know the exercises aren`t working for you if the above doesn`t help.

One of the reasons for your back muscles becoming stiff and sore upon going to bed is that you might have developed a back problem so do consult a chiropractor. It could also be that you have a new mattress that your body is taking time to adjust to or simply that mattress is not good for back support. Ingrid Quartzman.

If the muscles are only sore from exercise, and not from an injury, the heat from a heating pad or a rice bag heated in the microwave helps to send more blood to the sore muscle. This in turn sooths and relaxes the muscle and eases the pain from exercise. NEVER put heat on a newly injured muscle for at least 48 hours. You could case more damage to the injury. Ice, on and off at 20 minute intervals will help the injured muscle.

It is best to avoid sleeping on your stomach. It would be wise to sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees, or on your side with a pillow between your knees and a rolled up towel in your pillow case that would fit in the hollow of your neck.

As long as you stretch from time to time, you can do pretty much everything. to answer your question: Id say the deadlift and the barbell row. But as I said, that`s not really a problem if you stretch your shoulders and your back.

Does sleeping with a fan on high cause back pain/andor athritis?

I`m only 16 and I`ve been suffering from back pain in the last 7 years. Just last night, (my mom is a nurse) my mom told me that her patients- a lot of then suffer from back pain and most of them have a fan on at night. I have a giant fan on EVERY single night on high or I can`t sleep, and it`s right next to me. And EVERY single day, I suffer from severe back pain leading to never-ending migraines. Could there be any correlation between using a fan at night and my back pain?
